A sturdy wooden kô'dansu 箪笥 (small cabinet of drawers). Fully restored, cleaned, and waxed in Japan.
Made of thick, solid Zelkova 欅 (keyaki) burl wood with an attractive swirling grain. Finished with a shunkei-style reddish-brown lacquer that retains a glossy finish while revealing the natural wood grain.
Designed with 10 drawers of various sizes. The larger drawers are fitted with sturdy rectangular kakute 角手 bail handles, with two of those drawers featuring original keyholes. Of a smaller size, this handy cabinet offers practical storage thanks to its variety of compartments.
